Paeligni

The Paeligni were an Italic tribe who lived in the Valle Peligna in Abruzzo, central Italy. In 325 BC, they joined a confederacy which fought against the Roman Republic during the Samnite Wars, but they formed an alliance with Rome in 302 BC after the submission of the Samnites. They later fought against Rome in the Social War of the 1st century BC, after which they were granted Roman citizenship.
